Havana, Cuba, is a stunning place, with ancient history, vibrant culture and music, magnificent architecture and some of the most kind-hearted people we have ever met all combining to create a rich backdrop for creative inspiration. Bridal design is often firmly rooted in traditional styles, but we wanted the gowns in this collection to reflect the Cuban passion for life and the beauty in it. Classic bridal elements like feminine lines that flatter and enhance the figure and, of course, lace, played a key role, but with this collection there is greater emphasis on bold designs and rich textures to capture the vibrancy and flair that so strongly inspired us.
